🌈 Celebrating #PrideMonth with #PRIDE !

We're honored to serve and support unhoused women and gender diverse individuals, fostering a community where everyone can thrive. 🌟

Every month, Policy & Pastries brings together DWC Staff in dialogue on all things policy.

From learning about @theboldnewway ballot measure to conversations on the structure of LA government, nothing is off limits when there's pastries involved!

A huge thank you to @lionsgate for supporting DWC by assembling 350-400 toiletry kits!

We can't do this work alone.

DWC staff recently held a Team Building Activity for all the teams that either work in or go through the Day Center.

It was held in Los Angeles State Historic Park, and they enjoyed a fun day filled with games and activities to find more in common with each other.

Thank you @spectrumnews1socal for celebrating the grand opening of NoHo 5050!

Especially in light of Governor Newsom's budget cutting on homelessness, our local funding to address the housing crisis is more important than ever. #everywomanhoused
